Solar Technician Training Program for Vulnerable Youths of Don Bosco Tanzania Project
The Solar Technician Training Project has entered its third and final phase of implementation. The primary objective of this project is to equip technicians with comprehensive skills in the installation, operation, and maintenance of solar systems. Additionally, the training emphasizes the integration of solar technology with productive uses in the agricultural value chain. In this phase, the project is focused on the Dodoma region as a pilot area. Based on the success and outcomes of this pilot, there is a potential to expand the project to the Iringa region.
